If I'm not mistaken the 240gb ssd + 500gb hd combination is a tiiiny little cheaper, which one y'all think is more worth it and why?

I see, that's a good point thanks!

That's the way I would go as well. What's the main stuff being stored on the drive?

[–] Quills@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Well, the intention of this question in getting some opinions for a possible new pc, so i don't have any of the drives yet

[–] nexas_XIII@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I guess the question was more of if you're going to have a lot of media on the drives and you're on a budget. If that was the case it could be a reason to go more storage vs SSD only. If it's gaming then I'd take the SSD to store more games on the faster drive.

Budget is really tight so it's gonna be a pretty simple pc, just plan to use for relatively basic gaming and daily use, i guess the 500gb ssd is the best option then right?

[–] nexas_XIII@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's what I would go for then, yeah.

Second that, if you keep your bulk stuff like movies and whatnot elsewhere 500GB is more than enough for a daily driver box. Even if you don't have a server or use things like google drive it's cheap to grab a big USB stick or external drive later if you need it.

I see, thanks!
